Project information should be set out clearly under the headings provided (eg. Flights, What to pack, etc).
You should include a title page as well as pictures and colour where possible to help make your project look attractive.
The final page of your project needs to contain a table with the itinerary budget items clearly outlined.
You will need to submit all pages of your project in a display folder.
We have supplied some websites below to help you search for the information you need to complete the project.
You may work on this project independently at home and in pairs at school.
Please ask your teacher or carer for help if you have any questions.
Your project is due Friday, 25th June (Week 10).
